Based on their location, arthropods are divided into underground and aboveground arthropods [3][4][5][6].

Arthropods are the most abundant phylum found in plant ecosystems. The surjan planting system is sustainable agroecosystem engineering. The surjan system is one of the local cultural wisdom for dealing with pest and plant disease problems. In contrast to conventional systems, the majority of cultivation processes apply a monoculture farming system with massive use of pesticides and fertilizers. The research aims to determine the composition of arthropods from the application of surjan and conventional systems. The research was conducted in the Special Region of Yogyakarta in August 2022. The tools and materials used consisted of an inverter microscope, yellow trap, pitfall trap, pheromone trap, 70% alcohol, Taxofone, insect needles, vials and methyl eugenol. Each type of trap was repeated four times and designed diagonally. The collected arthropods were then observed using an inverter microscope. The identification results of Bactrocera sp and Atherigona sp are the dominant species found in the Bantul and Kulonprogo districts. The composition of arthropods in conventional land (Bantul Regency) is greater than in the surjan system (Kulonprogo Regency) based on population natural enemies. In contrast to the status of natural enemies, the surjan system has more natural enemies than conventional systems.

“…Plant functional types (PFTs) represent groups of plants that share key functional traits, respond to environmental stimuli in a similar manner (Geldenhuys et al., 2022 ; Hou et al., 2022 ; Wang, Li, et al., 2023 ; Wang, Sun, et al., 2023 ; Zhang et al., 2023 ), and play analogous roles in significant ecosystem processes (Yan et al., 2019 ), especially along rivers. Traditionally, PFTs are rooted in plant taxonomy (He et al., 2020 ), life history, leaf habits (Liu et al., 2023 ), habitat types, and other such criteria.…”

Dams worldwide have significantly altered the composition of riparian forests. However, research on the functional traits of dominant herbs experiencing flooding stress due to dam impoundment remains limited. Given the high plasticity of leaf traits and their susceptibility to environmental influences, this study focuses on riparian herbs along the Three Gorges Hydro‐Fluctuation Zone (TGHFZ). Specifically, it investigates how six leaf physiological traits of leading herbs—carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and their stoichiometric ratios—adapt to periodic flooding in the TGHFZ using cluster analysis, one‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA), multiple comparisons, Pearson correlation analysis, and principal component analysis (PCA). We categorized 25 dominant herb species into three plant functional types (PFTs), noting that species from the same family tended to fall into the same PFT. Notably, leaf carbon content (LCC) exhibited no significant differences across various PFTs or altitudes. Within riparian forests, different PFTs employ distinct adaptation strategies: PFT‐I herbs invest in structural components to enhance stress resistance; PFT‐II, mostly comprising gramineous plants, responds to prolonged flooding by rapid growth above the water; and PFT‐III, encompassing nearly all Compositae and annual plants, responds to prolonged flooding with vigorous rhizome growth and seed production. Soil water content (SWC) emerges as the primary environmental factor influencing dominant herb growth in the TGHFZ. By studying the response of leaf physiological traits in dominant plants to artificial flooding, we intend to reveal the survival mechanisms of plants under adverse conditions and lay the foundation for vegetation restoration in the TGHFZ.

Human activities drive ecological transformation, impacting island ecosystems from species diversity to ecological traits, mainly through habitat degradation and invasive species. Using two unique long‐term datasets we aim to evaluate whether species traits (body size, trophic level, dispersal capacity and habitat occupancy) can predict temporal variations in the abundance of endemic, indigenous (endemic and native non‐endemic) and exotic arthropods in the Azores Islands. We found that body size is crucial to predict arthropod abundance trends. Small‐bodied herbivorous arthropods showed a decrease in abundance, while large‐bodied indigenous arthropods increased in abundance, mainly in well‐preserved areas. Also, large‐bodied exotic arthropods increased in abundance across the entire archipelago. Moreover, endemic canopy dwellers increased in abundance, while endemic ground‐dwellers decreased in abundance. Simultaneously, exotic arthropods showed the opposite result, increasing in abundance in the ground while decreasing in abundance in the canopy. Finally, habitat influenced both endemic and exotic spider abundance trends. Endemic spiders that occupy solely natural habitats experienced a decline in abundance, while exotic spiders in the same habitats increased in abundance. Our study underscores the significance of arthropod species traits in predicting abundance changes in island ecosystems over time, as well as the importance of monitoring species communities. Conservation efforts must extend beyond endangered species to protect non‐threatened ones, given the increased extinction risk faced by even common species on islands. Monitoring and restoration programs are essential for preserving island ecosystems and safeguarding endemic arthropod populations.
